India Tests Nuclear-Capable Missile

Saturday’s Test Was First to Use Mobile Launcher

NEW DELHI—India on Saturday successfully used a mobile launcher to test-fire a nuclear-capable ballistic missile that could strike targets in Pakistan and China.

The Agni-V is India’s first intercontinental ballistic missile. It has a range of around 5,000 kilometers. The ability to fire it using a mobile launcher increases the number of potential targets India would be able to reach.
